No, I don't want to exercise all the time. I still despise it, not at all.
Yes, I know and then in the same time period within those nine years I lost 150 pounds.
Yes and, you know, I can't use the nice words anymore because I used to chicken out by using them. I used to call myself plus size, used to call myself chubby. I used to call myself overweight.
I'm not ashamed that I need glasses for distance. I did not feel like I needed to have all of that hair, which was typical Star Jones, or the extra lashes or the heavy makeup.
And I tried it and I felt, I guess I must have been pulled in by the red light of television and now I've been on TV since 1992.
I want people to make the same choice I made to get healthy.
I was a prosecutor in Brooklyn in the homicide division and then as a senior assistant district attorney.
And I had this big, long list of what I wanted in a guy but I realized I didn't stack up to the list myself.
I realized that in those nine seasons I started out at about 225 pounds and I felt, you know, full figured fabulous woman but in those seasons I gained 75 pounds up to over 300 pounds all in front of the nation.
I'm fairly in tune with what's private with my husband and with me.
You're never allowed to step on people to get ahead, but you can step over them if they're in your way.
Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I've been able to do for my family, my word.
I mean, on the television, I've got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I'm a wife now. You can't really be bossy when you're married.
My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby.
